Why it worked
The video leverages the high-engagement 'cozy morning' aesthetic combined with the universally appealing content of a golden retriever playing with a toy.
Summary
A woman wakes up in bed with her golden retriever, who brings his plush duck toy to play. The dog continues to chew on and play with the toy while the woman rests.

Product placement
Ducky (a plush dog toy) — it ACTS as it is played with, chewed on, and carried by the dog. Removing it would change the video as it is the central object of the dog's activity.
